Topic: Aquafina Water and Pepsi

For those who don't know, Aquafina Water is a Pepsi product. The thing that I found interesting in a news article, is that the water actually comes from P.W.S., which means Public Water Supply.... the very water that we get from our taps.... Evidentally they are changing their label to make that more clear to consumers. We pay how much for tap water?

Yeah, they need to say that on the label. I don't mind paying for specially filtered municipal water, rather than filter my own municipal water, but I'd sure like to know exactly what it is i'm paying for. (hypothetically speaking...i don't buy aquafina, i buy generic)

a lot of the places that sell beverages charge more for the water than for the pepsi. now just thinking of all the processing needed to turn water into pepsi makes you wonder what is going on.

old news. lots of bottled water comes from public water supply, as does the water in the vast majority of soft drinks. I really don't see why it's a big deal. The only problem with tap water is its taste, and bottled water is filtered in order to fix that.

I have well water. Straight from the ground. Taste soooo good. I should bottle THAT and sell it!

It really is old news. I don't know why it is making big headlines now. I have city water, which comes from a big well and is not treated. Oh, well, they treat it by adding chlorine. Sometimes when I turn on the shower, it smells like pure Clorox coming out of the shower head. I cook with it but drink only bottled (Dasani). I wouldn't enjoy drinking a glass of Clorox, would you?

here is shreveport coke does the same thing. how ever there is a difference, it is filtered and pepsi's dasanti bottles have said where the water comes from for years.

Unless it truly says Spring Water...most of those are processed/filtered tap water even the new vitamin/flavored waters

I had well water and it was loaded with arsenic. Moved to a closer part of town and its city water. Chlorine BLASTS the nose. Thanks but I will spend the extra pennys and drink bottled water.

my city has awesome tap-water...it's flat-out delicious. surrounding cities here...ugh. mom's well-water will turn my hair orange...and tastes like crap. and what's a white shirt when washed in that? but the streams there...are yummy. it all depends on where you live, i guess...i've had tap-water i wouldn't drink, and then some that's better than bottled.
